Gasoline, how long does it last?

I have some gasoline (20:1) oil mix for my (2 stroke) snow blower.

I mixed 2 gallons of it 3 years ago now.

I have been using it the last 2 seasons.

Is it still good to use?

The snowblower seems to like it.

The oil, did have a fuel stabilizer in it.

The El Cerrito Fire Department says the shelf life of gasoline is 6 months.

Another site has a discussion of gasoline relating to outboard motors that get only seasonal use.

I always thought it was 6 months myself.

I used the two year old gas with no issues last year.

I guess I will try the 3 year vintage this season and see how it goes. :slight_smile:
